Add support for using ivysettings.xml properties in HttpClientHandler
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-1042
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1042
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jim LoVerde
Currently, the only way to set proxy settings is via the http.proxy* system
properties. However, Ivy has the ability to specify properties in the
ivysettings.xml file as well. So this request is to add support for looking
for properties from ivysettings.xml if they aren't found in the system
properties. For example, by adding this to the ivysettings.xml:
<property name="http.proxyHost" value="myproxy" />
<property name="http.proxyPort" value="8080" />
This way ivysettings.xml files that point to corporate proxy servers could be
checked into version control to avoid each team member having to specify this.
However, if for some reason they need to override those settings, they could do
so by setting system properties.
It looks like supporting this would require a change to the
HttpClientHandler.configureProxy method and also to pass the settings object
into the URLHandlerRegistry singleton initialization (or optionally just to
stuff the properties into a Properties object and pass that into the
URLHandlerRegistry singleton initialization).
